fastened circular steel plate made in two
equal parts and joined on vertical line.
The two parts of the plate are so hinged
together and so moved by rod running
through the shaft that they may be opened
to present a fiat surface of great diameter
to the water astern OF the steamer. or closed
so as to present only the thickness
of the steel of which the two parts
Of the blade are formed. When in opera
ton one Of these two round blades is forced
forward with great velocity wide open, and
the other blade at the same instant is closed
and brought back toward the stern of the
vessel. The shaft, as will be seen, is not
turned as in a screw steamer, the only
action being horizontal stroke. AS the
stroke is direct, it is unnecessary to use
engines, the power being applied from the
cylinder. 1t is also claimed that much
less power is necessary than for screw pro-
pulsion, as in the rotating motion of the
screw from 35 to 40 per cent. of the power
is lost in keeping the number of revolutions
per minute up to the figure at which head

For steamer of the dimensions and ton

courtesy and that of Assistant Engineer
Cappelen, obtained valuable data relating
to these bridges, and also prospective draw
ings OF the proposed structures.
THE STEEL ARCH,
the largest and most expensive of the three,
crosses the river, as is well known. at the
foot OF NicOllet avenue, and is destined to
SuperSede the present suspension bridge.
At this time it is the intention to complete
only a half longitudinal section of the
bridge, which will lie north of and adjoin-
ing the suspension bridge, which latter
structure must be removed to allow the
completion of the other half When COM
plete the bridge will be eighty feet wide, of
which fifty-Six feet will be the roadway and
the remainder form two twelve-foot side
walks: but at present only forty-siX feet
width will be constructed, with a twenty
eight-foot roadway and one twelve foot
sidewalk on the north side The bridge
will consist of two spans or 265 feet each,
five arches to the span. 1t will be deck
bridge-that is to say, the roadway will be
on top, as seen by glance at the accom-
panying cut. The masonry will consist of
one center pier and two abutmentS, the
foundation of the former 10 be put in by
the pneumatic process. When complete
the bridge will cost nearly $3.50, 900, but the
present contracts will only run to about
$3.50, 600, including the pier complete, the
abutments partially complete and more
than half the iron and steel castings. The
Substructure will cost S150.000 and the
superstructure, complete, about 500, 900.

of the caisson is then filled in with 500
cubic yards of concrete, forming solid
mass for the pier foundation. The caisson
is then sunk and completed; the
pier in the mean time having
gradually arisen and kept above the water
line. Masonry is added until the pier
reaches forty-two feet above the water line,
which is the height of the roadway. The
caisson, in place, will displace nearly eight
hundred yards of masonry. which would
cost $40, OOO The cost of the caisson, in
place. including timber, iron and concrete,
will be $24, 700.
THE NEW BRIDGE
will not only be a fine piece of engineering
work, but will be very handsome archi-
tecturally. The arches will rest on huge
blocks of granite, set in the pier aud abut-
ments, and will swing on gigantic pivots.
The arches will be hinged in the center to
allow the play caused by expansion and
contraction, from changes in the tenlpera-
ture. In all it will be metropolitan
bridge and decided relief from the present
cramped and crowded condition on this
main city artery.

To the Editor of the Globe.

Permit me through the columns of the
GLOBE to make a suggestion, that If fol-
lowed out, would be of great benefit to the
laboring class and credit to our prosperous
city. Let us build a workingman'S hail..
organize a society. sell its shares, buy a
suitable lot i'll q convenient part of the city,
erect thereon q building say 50X75. three
stories high, rent first floor Tor stores, ETC.,
second floor for offices and use part of
third for monthly meetings OF the society.
Such an enterprise would be profitable in
vestment to the stockholders, if properly
managed. and give a hall to the society
where meetings could be held to discuss
and review the rights of the worthy
sons of toll. All laboring men in the
city should interest themselves in such
worthy cause, and the benefits
that would arise from such an institution
are too numerous to mention in this short
space. Suffice to say that at the monthly
meetings the rights, benefits, privileges
aid welfare of the workingman could be
presented by men chosen for the occasion
or By men drafted from the ranks of the
society. The importance of securing homes
and how to secure them would be brought
out. The evils arising from the use and
abuse of alchol would be presented in a
philosophical and practical light. The folly
OF extravaganza ana waste OF money anu
time would be presented in manner that
would arouse the feelings of many. Hab-
its, customs and manners could be brought
up for analysis, and, i'll fact, all the sub
lime and beautiful virtues of life
could be forcibly and effectively
presented at the meetings of the
society. How to employ our hours of
idleness would afford a topic for discussion
that might be protitably INDUCED in for
many evenings: also to rehearse the duties
of our own life, and do all that could be
done to rid ourselves of the evils and mis-
cries that we are authors of and, in fact,
debate in concert all the noble attributes
that go to make good people better. Should
the Knis dts of Labor undertake this enter
prise [ feel assured that it would be a grand
success, and ere long the benefits derived
from temple erected for the sole purpose
of elevating and raising the standard of our
working people would be visible in every
home in the city. We have palatial resi-
dences on the hill, and we want more of
those happy homes. We have huts OH the
flats. and we want fewer of them. What
we do want is happy medium. We do
not want to tear down the mansions OF the
rich: we do want to build up and improve
the humble abode of the poor. A working
mans building will be one step in that
direction. Who will second the motion?

culties which beset their trade, seem to be

culties which beset their trade, seem to be
getting into deeper water. Though stock has
lately advanced l y cents or more, some par
ties are claimed to have offered barrels under
what other shops were Offering them for and
this has had tendency to keep everybody
from making any effort to get higher prices.
With stock at current values, few shops in
the city can get out even with the prices they
are receiving for barrels, and there is feel
ing gaining ground that the mills must pay
more for their packages, or a cut in wages is
inevitable. Exactly how barrel prices are to
be advanced is conundrum puzzling the
most intelligent members of the craft But
this, in our opinion, is the only way that the
present standard of wages can be maintained.
An attempt should be made to get the millerS
to allow more for barrels, as the paw received
by the cooperS for their work is only
moderate, and they can i'll afford any
reduction. Early in the week it was ru-
mored that meeting of shop managers would
be called to. consider this question, but
while there had been some talk of this nature,
1t had not developed into anything very
definite up to Wednesday. The coopers of
the Hardwood-Storage company are yet idle,
but employment has been secured by most of
the eight men out Of the Parr shop, the latter
not starting up as reported would be done.
The question of allowing the men of the
former institution regular and stipulated
benefits has not been fully settled, though all
in need of help will receive it. There are
some coopers who very strongly oppose any
assessment on the employed men for the
benefit of the Hardwood-Storage employees,
on The ground that would be unjust to do so,
and predict that if it is done it will cause
rupture in the cooperS' assembly. A repre-
sentative of the assembly stated Tuesday
that that body looked upon the shutting up of
the MISUNDERSTANDING shop as lockout. as
the men had been given choice of work
ing at cut of cent per barrel, the company
continuing to store its product, or be thrown
out of work for an indefinite perio d. 1t
seems to US that the assembly is wrong. as
any shop in the city would doubtless have
taken the same course under similar crcum-

1t will consist of four spans of 200 feet each
and consequently have three piers and two
abutments. The roadway will be thirty
SIX feet and there will be two sidewalks,
each six feet in the clear. From the char
acter Of the river bed the piers will be set
on pile foundations, requiring 1000 lineal
feet of piling. There will be 1900 yards of
masonry and about $50 tons of iron used in
construction, besides 55. 900 feet of lumber
in the caisSons and forty-tive yards of gran
lite to support the truss ends. The river
banks are low at this point which accounts
for the comparatively small amount of
masonry. The bridge will cost about $780,
600 and will be completed before the end of
the year and possibly by Sept 1. 1t will be
a matter of qualification to people on both
sides of the river, who have long been
clamoring for its construction.
